Trevor & Carol were awesome hosts providing the ideal amount of information and guidance then leaving us to it. The room was luxury and dinner was out of this world, easily the best we have ever had, made all the more special by the remoteness and beauty of the location.

Earthsong Lodge is a quality experience. The bush setting is magnificent, the rooms have character and hosts Trevor and Carol go out of their way to ensure their guests are pampered in every way. The food is top class. And Great Barrier Island is a treasure.

We really appreciate your review. It was a pleasure to share our slice of paradise and host you both at Earthsong. You are right - Great Barrier Island is a treasure and we hope that you now have memories you will treasure too.

My wife and I shared three nights at Earthsong Lodge for her birthday at the end of September for a relaxing break away from the hustle of Auckland City. Carol and Trevor provided the best personal experience I have ever had with a holiday. From the outset we were treated to delicious home baking (thanks Carol) and world class dining...

This Lodge offers one of the best places to take a break. Trevor and Carol are wonderful hosts; the meals are to die for (well, not literally!); the accommodation is excellent; and the island itself offers tranquility, beauty and friendliness. This was our second visit and it won't be our last.

A review of a guests first stay tends to focus on the novelty of discovering a great experience...and wishing to share that with others.
The decision to return is loaded with expectations, and that is the challenge for us as hosts. CBr0wn and partner are a delightful couple and their enthusiasm to enjoy Earthsong and the uniqueness of Great Barrier...

A unique and very special place. Made extra special by attentive, gracious hosts. The cuisine, ambience and goal experience was outstanding and highly recommended. Spent a few days exploring all corners of this beautiful island. We are planning our return.

A totally unexpected but wonderful evening. A gastronomical delight. A beautifully balanced meal from the moment we arrived. From aperitifs to dessert, the tastes were delicious and the hosts attentive, interesting and caring.
We would recommend highly to anyone wanting to experience high quality dining with the closest of attention in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

Such a beautiful boutique lodge, in a fantastic, out of the way, location with stunning views.
Trevor cooks up a treat and it was a highlight every evening to be greeted by Carol with the set menu to see what culinary delights we would be treated to. The best thing about having a set menu is being presented with dishes...

We contacted the owners for having dinner at their Lodge. There is no where on the restaurant page for me to do a review of just the meal, so I am using this link instead.
The evening was fantastic. We were picked up at the road entrance having walked from our accommodation on GBI, and driven to the Lodge for...
